On March 18, 2025, only five aid trucks were allowed into Gaza by Israel, with none reaching those in need. The UN humanitarian chief, Tom Fletcher, warned that without lifting the blockade, 14,000 babies could die within 48 hours due to lack of essential supplies. He criticized Israel's narrative surrounding the aid, emphasizing the dire risks faced by aid workers trying to deliver food. Despite thousands of trucks waiting at the border with crucial supplies, the limited humanitarian access remains ineffective, causing outrage and concern over the humanitarian crisis.
Thousands of babies in Gaza may die over the next two days if Israel does not lift its near-total humanitarian aid blockade and allow the entry of a flood of food and other basic necessities.
We run the risk of looting, we run the risk of being hit as part of the Israeli military offensive, we run all sorts of risks trying to get that baby food to those mothers who cannot feed their children right now.
Those five trucks are just sat on the other side of the border right now, they've not reached the communities they need to reach.
